I remember several years ago there were some problems with peoples systems
acting sluggish or freezing with the -rt kernel during Hardy.  If I remember
correctly it had to do with acpi, although I cannot find any of those emails
on the mailing list.

However, I did find a Ubuntu Studio review by Dave Phillips that also
mentions the acpi situation:

Also, this 64Studio forum posts discusses it a little more:

Hope this helps.
